Sing, Sing A Song I was sitting in the car with the window open and singing , loudly might I add, and noticed the hot man in the Mercedes next to me was staring at, so immediately I thought " Wow he thinks I'm cute, I smiled and continued to sing when I realized his window was open and he was not staring at me because of my looks, although I think I look pretty good, he was staring at me while I was singing because I was singing so bad. Now I used to be a pretty good singer in the day but lack of practice and ear issues and oh never mind my voice has changed so singing has become one of the skills I no longer have. After he drove off with a smirk I made two decisions 1) I would keep my vocals confined to the privacy of my shower where only my dogs and I could hear for the time being. AND!! 2) I would get my old voice back by taking voice lessons so if I ever did sing in my car again people would stare at me because they thought I was Beyonce, well minus the good

The Good, The Bad The OMG!!!

I'm just going to start by saying " What were you thinking?" I am looking at something that is totally creeping me out. I wonder if you looked in the mirror and thought " wow I look great today" Now before you go and judge me... Don't! I am not trying to be mean, in fact I want to pull you aside, away from the smirking passersby and say SNAP OUT OF IT! The 80's are over and since that hair and makeup didn't work then, it surely won't work now.  So I made my approach like a lion in the   Serengeti. I slowly walked over thinking carefully about what I was going to say so as to not insult you too much. I feel it's my calling to help you, I mean after all we are sisters in a way, well okay we have the same mom so we really are sisters, but if I come straight out and give you my opinion you will take it oh so personally. So here goes my beauty and fashion rules that every sister whether by blood or not should follow. Think of makeup as an acc

I feel like I'm living in the 70's

I am done with the simple life, I tried an experiment, I decided that I no longer needed to have satellite TV, I would be just fine with an antenna.. By giving it up I figured I would spend more time outdoors with my kids and save money,, boy was I wrong.. First of all when you make a decision to go back in time make sure everyone is on board.. I cancelled my services and made all these plans,, we would go to the park after school, have family game night and still be able to watch local channels. Apparently this idea did not go over well with the rest of my family, in fact I think they were confused,, my daughter continued to ask where channels 200 and up where. This is a common question that kids these days ask when they are used to having over 600 channels to choose from. So I am going back to satellite, but where do I look to find the best company to use, I went to cable TV advisor , of course,   I mean if I am going to bring my home out of the dark ages I want to get the best

Who is this child and what did she do with my daughter?

So I have a "Teenager" well she's 13, but she thinks she is now an adult because she is now a number that ends with the word teen. Now I don't know how many of you realize this but I think when a girl turns 13 they are taken over by evil pod people whose job it is to drive us crazy until we are put in white jackets that get tied around our waist, first of all it's a fashion don't, but let me get back to the issue at hand. This child who used to be so sweet and want to do everything with you has now become a nightmare to live with, oops did that sound mean, sorry to those of you that have the perfect child who is not there yet, but just wait it will happen, oh and while I am on the subject of the perfect child, I don't believe you for a moment when you say your child does everything they are supposed to unless.......they are Stepford children. Back to my rant so my 13 year old has informed me that she doesn't think she should be grounded, EVER, really m

Shopping Tips from a pro

So with the holidays coming up I am going to give you my last minute shopping tips, yes I know it is 9 days before Christmas but I am a great shopper when I am under pressure. Do not under any circumstance think that a gift card is an acceptable gift, I don't care what they say on the T.V. commercial you saw, the only thing a gift card says is, "I waited till the last minute to get you a gift.' There are many gifts you can put together last minute, for example, for the movie lover get a metal bucket or one of the plastic Popcorn buckets and fill it with microwave popcorn, boxes of candy and a couple of DVD'S. Bam you have a great gift.  Is there a male in your life that tells you "I'll like anything you get me" and then you are more bewildered than before, how about a man basket, filled with chips, salsa, beer, nuts, tickets to a sporting event, coffee travel mug, you get the idea.. Do you have a teenage Fashionista in your life that is picky? How abo

Stage Moms and how to avoid them!

So I am now full swing into the world of acting and everything that goes along with it, and no it is not me that is acting it is my kids,   jeez what we won't do for our kids, for example the other day I was sitting on a set while my 8 year old was acting and the ultimate stage mom came walking over, you know the one, she looks like she just came from Sephora after trying on every bit of makeup they sell, she had so much perfume on, my eyes watered and her heels were so high I thought I was gonna see a weeble that wobbled but did fall down, well I say weeble cause she was as round as one, now before you think I am mean, I really am not, but it was a funny site so what else could I think, anyway I am sitting there thinking c'mon you are there for your kid do you really think a producer is going to look at you and say that's it Mr Scorses I found our next Angelina Jolie,   NOT!! Back to my point, I see her coming straight at me and I start to cringe, yikes what should I do?
